I moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I know. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.

I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always smiles to me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in.

I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbor's front porches (门廊) on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards: “Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”

I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.

My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.

This morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply: Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road.

The Thank You card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”

I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry, but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr. Kelly was meant to have that basket because he was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not get to receive a fruit basket on Christmas, but I believe if she knew what had happened, she would be happy. I feel pleased to have helped Richard Kelly's last days be more cheerful.

1.How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?

A. 9.         B. 8           C. 10               D. 11

2.Where did the friendly lady live?

A. She lived at the end of Northumberland Road.

B. Her address was 5104 Northumberland Road.

C. She was thought to share a house with Mr. Kelly.

D. The author was not sure about her address at all.

3.How did the author’s neighbors respond to his gifts?

A. They liked the gifts very much and were thankful.

B. They were thankful that they wanted to be friends.

C. They all made phone calls to say “Thank You”.

D. They all visited him by person to show gratitude.

4.What does the author mean in the last paragraph?

A. He was regretful that the nice lady didn’t receive his gift.

B. He was glad to have made Mr. Kelly's life more pleasant.

C. He thought Richard Kelly deserved to receive that basket.

D. The old lady was happy to sacrifice to make Kelly happy.

The great thing about libraries is that they house all types of books—from mysteries to biographies to dramas—all in one location. The bad thing about libraries is that they house all types of books in one location, and if it’s a location you can’t get to, you’re out of luck. Now, mobile library solutions are appearing quickly around the country to bring books to people who need them.

A few years ago, when the Little Free Libraries Movement launched, more people of all ages could have access to books. Now, more than 15,000 free book stands can be found around the world, bringing books to unexpected places. But many folks simply can’t get to the places where the books are. Bookmobile buses are a good solution, but they can be expensive to fund and to operate.

Books on bikes programs are popping up（出现）in areas where there is a strong bike culture, such as Seattle, or a strong need to bring books to the masses, such as in San Francisco.

The Seattle Public Library’s Books on Bikes program is made up of three bike/trailer combos（复合）that librarians bring to community events. The trailers are even Wi-Fi enabled so that visitors can sign up for a library card and browse（浏览）the library’s card catalog on the spot.

“Seattle has a really strong bike culture so we want to tap into that and provide full service library programs but do it in a way that is quick and smart.” librarian Jared Mills said in an interview.

San Francisco’s program, called Bibliobicicleta, was launched in 2013 by librarian Alicia Tapia. Her trailer can hold about 100 books and attracts readers of all ages and income levels.　 It’s an independent, donation—based library—ike a Little Free Library, but on wheels.

When asked why she would launch a free library on a bike, Tapia answers, “Why not? Bikes are cool, and can go anywhere.”

Over a cup of iced tea at the midtown Radiance Tea House&Books,whose noise is not much louder than a coffee machine's,Gregory Scott Farber,a non-practicing lawyer who works as a research analyst, described SoundPrint he created as"Yelp for noise". SoundPrint allows users to search for and grade restaurants and bars according to their sound level. "laces are getting louder,"Farber said. "People tell me thirty or forty years ago you could go somewhere to eat and expect to have a conversation. "

Farber suffers from permanent hearing loss,caused by meningitis(脑脊膜炎)which he contracted when he was a baby. Like so many great inventions,Farber's invention arose from a desire to find love-or,at least,a place to have a date. "When I was dating,I put a lot of efforts into trying to pick quiet spots,"he said. "I'd google' quiet restaurants'. Then I would show up,but it would be noisy. " His hearing aid helped,but not enough. "Out of curiosity,I started taking decibel(分贝)measurements. "He sent a list of his favorite quiet places to friends in the hearing-loss community,and soon found many requests from his normal-hearing friends.

SoundPrint includes a sound-level meter,so diners and drinkers can take measurements using their smartphones,and upload data to the database. Farber said that the app brings no profit. SoundPrint covers about two thousand cities,though only fifteen have a significant number of users. Farber recently analyzed the data from 2,376 Manhattan restaurants and bars,and the findings are not good for ears. More than 70%of the former and 90%of the latter were rated as"loud"-defined as between 76 and 80 decibels,or as noisy as an air-conditioner.

1.What does Gregory Scott Farber do for a living?

A.He sells hearing aids.

B.He develops computer programs.

C.He defends people in a court of law.

D.He makes a detailed analysis of data.

2.Why did Farber create SoundPrint?

A.Because he wanted to earn more money.

B.Because he could hear nothing without a hearing aid.

C.Because he wanted to help his friends who suffer hearing loss.

D.Because he suffered hearing loss and wanted to find a quiet place for dating.

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.SoundPrint can be downloaded to user's phones.

B.SoundPrint can detect noise from air-conditioner.

C.SoundPrint is widely used in 2,000 American cities.

D.SoundPrints can analyze data from restaurants and bars

4.The data collected by SoundPrint showed that ______in Manhattan.

A.restaurants are noisier than bars

B.a large majority of bars are noisy

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.

Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition (探险) in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ship’s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart.

When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water, Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The shop then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.

Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ship’s captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.

Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirk’s camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island.

The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate (导航). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.

Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued. Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk, which inspired him to write the book.

1.Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island?

A. Because he had quarrels with the crew members.

B. Because the captain ordered him to get fresh water.

C. Because he wanted to go on an adventure there.

D. Because he thought the ship he was on was in danger.

2.We can infer from the text that the ship that visited Aguas Buenas in 1709 _______.

A. lost its way while sailing

B. lacked fresh water upon arrival

C. was being navigated by Selkirk

D. was running out of food upon arrival

3.How could Selkirk see ships that might rescue him, according to archaeologists?

A. By asking the crew members on the ships.

B. By sending messages to the ships’ captains.

C. By watching from his shelter high on the island.

D. By using a piece of equipment used to navigate.

4.The author wrote the text to _______.

A. explain the origin of Robinson Crusoe

B. promote sales to Robinson Crusoe

C. criticise Alexander Selkrik’s deeds

D. praise Daniel Defoe for his writing inspiration
